Gents,

about to start building a new motor mount for my taig lathe.

I want to have a way to unload the belt (to slacken it  so it doesn't stretch unnecessarily, and also to to allow me to turn the spindle without the motor generating (I'm using a DC motor for drive in the next iteration of my Taig)

Has anyone got some good designs or plans for a mount?

current plan is two angle irons with some 10mm rod between them (bench set), then two more angles riding on/in the rods (motor set) with a screw adjuster to drive the motor set relative to the bench set. A plate will be bolted to the motor set to secure the motor, and allow adjustment at right angle to the rods/thread. - A cam/ramp mechanism will be  introduced into the  thrust collar/locating  area of the threaded rod to provide a "lever actuated unloading" mechanism.

If someone has a better design, or can spot faults in the above design, please let  me know..


the motor is fairly light, so my previous design which used a hinge and the motor weight for tension won't work unless I spring load it - not as easy with the new lathe stand.

Thanks,
Des
Oz

As I remember from my Taig years ago the other point I always wanted was the
ability for a lower speed for hard materials as well. Have you ever looked at a
countershaft system like is used on the South Bend and other lathes where they
have a primary and secondary belt with multiple speed choices on both belts.

How about a hinged toggle.  No spring. just move the lever to unload the belt.

JWE,

my current setup has a jackshaft because of the fixed speed motor - the new setup will have the variable speed DC drive motor (electric scooter motor), and I'm building in a backgear setup as well - the  back gears will be the phase 2 modifications, along with gearing to the leadscrew (installed in phase 1 mods)

I'll be finishing the lathe stand and drawers today, then commencing the motor mount tomorrow - once I can re-power the lathe on the new stand I' can commence cutting the gearing and other parts for the phase 2 mods.
All will be documented on the web.

i think it was in the movie "2001" where one ape picked up a club and
bashed another ape's head in.
to me, what this indicates is that there are the aggressive "things", be it
animals or man, who will always try to dominate the weaker.
that being said i can also build a steel box to secure my weapon, making it so
secure that the weapon will be destroyed by someone stealing it. while in the
steel box the gun will never hurt or kill
anybody.
all this means is, to me anyway, is weapons(guns) do not kill people.
people with guns kill people. people with clubs kill people, apes with clubs
kill apes.
those of us who are not mean spirited or evil but know these "things" are out
there all around us would be smart to be prepared.
the argument that no one needs a gun is made by those who are naive at best.
stupid or media possessed is more likely.
if this is your position i would urge you to do research on your own concerning
the decreased crime where concealed carry is allowed. while researching, check
on "gunfights" started by concealed carry people.
the bottom line is not all of us are chuck norris and can disarm and defeat an
assailant with our bare hands.
i have a concealed carry permit and am always armed when i leave my home. i am
trained to defend myself. i pray to God i will never have to draw my weapon and

This is generally true. All gun prohibition laws are most strongly supported and
promoted by the more liberal minded criminal types who commit most of the
crimes. Why do they do this, it makes it much less likely that the merchant they
intend to rob or the woman they intend to rape will be able to defend themselves
by shooting the criminal. So it is true all laws making it difficult for honest
citizens to own guns make crime more likely and civilian deaths through crime
more likely!

At the same time I must say I have not owned a gun of any kind for more than 30
years as every case where I might have needed to use one I was able to deal with
the armed individual without a weapon on my part. But then again I had good
unarmed combat training when I was in the Navy which most people never get even
in the service because I was on a landing party combat team similar to light
duty assault teams!

	 Interesting variant on that theme. Check out the Hessman "Barrel"
engine from the 30's that had a swashplate on the shaft and slipper

  I posted this over on the TechLathe group to be sure more people see it. If you belong to both groups, simply choose which post to ignore. :-)

If you read the following and believe you DO know of some legitimate tools and/or technology that are absolutely gone forever from anywhere on the face of the earth, by all means click the title link, scroll to the bottom of their page and add your comments with your information. (Conversely, you may want to check their article a few times over the next few days to see later user comments, and look for tools posted by users as "extinct" that you know are still in use somewhere.)

Tools Never Die. Waddaya mean, Never?

Kevin Kelly should know better, but boldly, brassily, (and totally incorrectly, I'm sure), he said this on NPR:

"I say there is no species of technology that have ever gone globally extinct on this planet."

What does that mean? I asked him. (Kevin, among other things, is founding editor of Wired Magazine and runs a very popular blog, called Cool Tools , that reviews new gadgets.)

That means, he said, "I can't find any [invention, tool, technology] that has disappeared completely from Earth."

Nothing? I asked. Brass helmets? Detachable shirt collars? Chariot wheels?

Nothing, he said.

Skyhorse Publishing
Montgomery Ward & Co.
catoalogue from 1895.
Can't be, I told him. Tools do hang around, but some must go extinct.

If only because of the hubris — the absolute nature of the claim — I told him it would take me a half hour to find a tool, an invention that is no longer being made anywhere by anybody.

Go ahead, he said. Try.

If you listen to our Morning Edition debate, I tried carbon paper (still being made), steam powered car engine parts (still being made), Paleolithic hammers (still being made), 6 pages of

Agriculture tools from the 1895
Montgomery Ward & Co. catalog.

Agriculture tools from the 1895 Montgomery Ward & Co. catalogue

agricultural tools from an 1895 Montgomery Ward & Co. Catalogue (every one of them still being made), and to my utter astonishment, I couldn't find a provable example of an technology that has disappeared completely.

And Kevin continues to insist he is right. In his new book What Technology Wants , he says:

A close examination of a supposedly extinct bygone technology almost always shows that somewhere on the planet someone is still producing it. A technique or artifact may be rare in the modern urban world but quite common in the developing rural world. For instance, Burma is full of oxcart technology; basketry is ubiquitous in most of Africa; hand spinning is still thriving in Bolivia. A supposedly dead technology may be enthusiastically embraced by a heritage-based minority in modern society, if only for ritual satisfaction. Consider the traditional ways of the Amish, or modern tribal communities or fanatical vinyl record collectors. Often old technology is obsolete, that is, it is not very ubiquitous or is second rate, but it still may be in small-time use.

I know Kevin's wrong. There have to be prominent exceptions to his Technologies Never Die claim. Problem is, I'm the wrong person to prove him wrong. I'm just not tool-wise. Pens instantly dry up when I touch them, computers — don't even ask. So what I'm wondering is: Can you help me here?

Help Me!

If you honestly think there is a tool or invention from any century, any culture, any time (no science fiction please, we are trying to be real here) that has gone completely extinct, please send it in.

Just mention the tool in the "comment" section.

We will publish the most promising ones in the next Krulwich Wonders... blogpost, which we're calling "Am I Extinct?"

When you go to that post and see the alphabetical listing of purportedly extinct human inventions, if you see a tool or machine on that list that you know or think is still being made somewhere today, please please, write and tell us.

We will post your claims of extinction and your counterclaims together.

We will keep this post open a couple of days and if, collectively, we come up with a list of plausibly extinct technologies, it's back to Kevin for Round Two of this colloquy.

I know I can count on you people. You always bite me when I say something wrong. Now it's time to bite Kevin.


Kevin Kelly's new book is called What Technology Wants, (Viking, 2010); He and I and the writer Steven Johnson debated some of these issues at the New York Public Library in October, 2010. That debate is on video . A different, edited version that focuses on Kevin and Steven's ideas about how technology evolves (and, says Kevin, has a primitive "will") appeared on a Radiolab podcast

  Its been pretty dead around here, so here's something rare for the U.S. media to publish:
- - - -
A few past and present failings of elitist liberal group-think are openly discussed and explored, this time exposed by... liberals?! Since this frank examination is exceedingly unlikely to receive much attention in our likewise heavily biased media, I thought I'd better post this NYT article in it's entirety before it quickly & quietly disappears...!

Social Scientist Sees Bias Within

SAN ANTONIO — Some of the world’s pre-eminent experts on bias discovered an unexpected form of it at their annual meeting.

Discrimination is always high on the agenda at the Society for Personality and Social Psychology’s conference, where psychologists discuss their research on racial prejudice, homophobia, sexism, stereotype threat and unconscious bias against minorities. But the most talked-about speech at this year’s meeting, which ended Jan. 30, involved a new “outgroup.”

It was identified by Jonathan Haidt , a social psychologist at the University of Virginia who studies the intuitive foundations of morality and ideology. He polled his audience at the San Antonio Convention Center, starting by asking how many considered themselves politically liberal. A sea of hands appeared, and Dr. Haidt estimated that liberals made up 80 percent of the 1,000 psychologists in the ballroom. When he asked for centrists and libertarians, he spotted fewer than three dozen hands. And then, when he asked for conservatives, he counted a grand total of three.

“This is a statistically impossible lack of diversity,” Dr. Haidt concluded, noting polls showing that 40 percent of Americans are conservative and 20 percent are liberal. In his speech and in an interview, Dr. Haidt argued that social psychologists are a “tribal-moral community” united by “sacred values” that hinder research and damage their credibility — and blind them to the hostile climate they’ve created for non-liberals.

“Anywhere in the world that social psychologists see women or minorities underrepresented by a factor of two or three, our minds jump to discrimination as the explanation,” said Dr. Haidt, who called himself a longtime liberal turned centrist. “But when we find out that conservatives are underrepresented among us by a factor of more than 100, suddenly everyone finds it quite easy to generate alternate explanations.”

Dr. Haidt (pronounced height) told the audience that he had been corresponding with a couple of non-liberal graduate students in social psychology whose experiences reminded him of closeted gay students in the 1980s. He quoted — anonymously — from their e-mails describing how they hid their feelings when colleagues made political small talk and jokes predicated on the assumption that everyone was a liberal.

“I consider myself very middle-of-the-road politically: a social liberal but fiscal conservative. Nonetheless, I avoid the topic of politics around work,” one student wrote. “Given what I’ve read of the literature, I am certain any research I conducted in political psychology would provide contrary findings and, therefore, go unpublished. Although I think I could make a substantial contribution to the knowledge base, and would be excited to do so, I will not.”

The politics of the professoriate has been studied by the economists Christopher Cardiff and Daniel Klein and the sociologists Neil Gross and Solon Simmons. They’ve independently found that Democrats typically outnumber Republicans at elite universities by at least six to one among the general faculty, and by higher ratios in the humanities and social sciences. In a 2007 study of both elite and non-elite universities, Dr. Gross and Dr. Simmons reported that nearly 80 percent of psychology professors are Democrats, outnumbering Republicans by nearly 12 to 1.

The fields of psychology, sociology and anthropology have long attracted liberals, but they became more exclusive after the 1960s, according to Dr. Haidt. “The fight for civil rights and against racism became the sacred cause unifying the left throughout American society, and within the academy,” he said, arguing that this shared morality both “binds and blinds.”

“If a group circles around sacred values, they will evolve into a tribal-moral community,” he said. “They’ll embrace science whenever it supports their sacred values, but they’ll ditch it or distort it as soon as it threatens a sacred value.” It’s easy for social scientists to observe this process in other communities, like the fundamentalist Christians who embrace “intelligent design” while rejecting Darwinism. But academics can be selective, too, as Daniel Patrick Moynihan found in 1965 when he warned about the rise of unmarried parenthood and welfare dependency among blacks — violating the taboo against criticizing victims of racism.

“Moynihan was shunned by many of his colleagues at Harvard as racist,” Dr. Haidt said. “Open-minded inquiry into the problems of the black family was shut down for decades, precisely the decades in which it was most urgently needed. Only in the last few years have liberal sociologists begun to acknowledge that Moynihan was right all along.”

Similarly, Larry Summers , then president of Harvard, was ostracized in 2005 for wondering publicly whether the preponderance of male professors in some top math and science departments might be due partly to the larger variance in I.Q. scores among men (meaning there are more men at the very high and very low ends). “This was not a permissible hypothesis,” Dr. Haidt said. “It blamed the victims rather than the powerful. The outrage ultimately led to his resignation. We psychologists should have been outraged by the outrage. We should have defended his right to think freely.”

Instead, the taboo against discussing sex differences was reinforced, so universities and the National Science Foundation went on spending tens of millions of dollars on research and programs based on the assumption that female scientists faced discrimination and various forms of unconscious bias. But that assumption has been repeatedly contradicted, most recently in a study published Monday in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by two Cornell psychologists, Stephen J. Ceci and Wendy M. Williams. After reviewing two decades of research, they report that a woman in academic science typically fares as well as, if not better than, a comparable man when it comes to being interviewed, hired, promoted, financed and published.

“Thus,” they conclude, “the ongoing focus on sex discrimination in reviewing, interviewing and hiring represents costly, misplaced effort. Society is engaged in the present in solving problems of the past.” Instead of presuming discrimination in science or expecting the sexes to show equal interest in every discipline, the Cornell researchers say, universities should make it easier for women in any field to combine scholarship with family responsibilities.

Can social scientists open up to outsiders’ ideas? Dr. Haidt was optimistic enough to title his speech “The Bright Future of Post-Partisan Social Psychology,” urging his colleagues to focus on shared science rather than shared moral values. To overcome taboos, he advised them to subscribe to National Review and to read Thomas Sowell’s “A Conflict of Visions.”

For a tribal-moral community, the social psychologists in Dr. Haidt’s audience seemed refreshingly receptive to his argument. Some said he overstated how liberal the field is, but many agreed it should welcome more ideological diversity. A few even endorsed his call for a new affirmative-action goal: a membership that’s 10 percent conservative by 2020. The society’s executive committee didn’t endorse Dr. Haidt’s numerical goal, but it did vote to put a statement on the group’s home page welcoming psychologists with “diverse perspectives.” It also made a change on the “Diversity Initiatives” page — a two-letter correction of what it called a grammatical glitch, although others might see it as more of a Freudian slip.

In the old version, the society announced that special funds to pay for travel to the annual meeting were available to students belonging to “underrepresented groups (i.e., ethnic or racial minorities, first-generation college students, individuals with a physical disability, and/or lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered students).”

As Dr. Haidt noted in his speech, the “i.e.” implied that this was the exclusive, sacred list of “underrepresented groups.” The society took his suggestion to substitute “e.g.” — a change that leaves it open to other groups, too. Maybe, someday, even to conservatives.

This article has been revised to reflect the following correction:

Correction: February 10, 2011

Because of an editing error, the Findings column on Tuesday, about political bias among social scientists, omitted the last four words of a sentence that countered the notion that female scientists face discrimination and various forms of unconscious bias. The sentence should have read: But that assumption has been repeatedly contradicted, most recently in a study published Monday in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by two Cornell psychologists, Stephen J. Ceci and Wendy M. Williams.

A version of this article appeared in print on February 8, 2011, on page D1 of the New York edition.

A wood lathe chuck can be an excellent addition to any wood lathe. A chuck allows one to turn smaller pieces of wood with a high degree of flexibility while avoiding the inconvenience supporting the wood with the tailstock.
Many people use wood lathe chucks for smaller projects. They are an absolutely necessary tool for anyone who would like to turn wooden bowls or similar items.
You can choose your wood lathe chuck from two different options. Three-jaw chucks center the wood in the lathe automatically and are well suited for symmetrical projects. That is because these chucks basically immobilize the wood, which means all rounding will be toward the true center of the wood. These are the lathe chucks with which most woodworkers first experiment. They produce great results, even though they are somewhat limited in what they can do.
A four-jaw wood lathe chuck offers more flexibility. These chucks allow the lathe user to move the wood during the turning process. This allows the operator to create rounded pieces that are not necessarily symmetrical or centered. These chucks are ideal for those who are handling very specialized aspects of custom projects and for artists who do not want to find themselves limited any more than necessary.
Suppliers provide three-jaw and four-jaw chucks in multiple sizes. A jewelry maker may find himself using a tiny, one-inch chuck. Meanwhile, a turner of a large wooden bowl may work with a chuck with a full two-foot diameter! There is a chuck for every project and every preference.
Your choice of a chuck size must be governed by two factors: the size of the lathe upon which the chuck will be used and the size of the wood pieces you plan to turn. Before you purchase a wood lathe chuck, double check your lathe's capacity and determine the chuck's intended use. That will help you to secure the right tool for your specific needs.
Lathe chucks can produce some amazing effects. Any lathe-using woodworker will be able to find a number of uses for these tools.
At the same time, it is important to note that these devices are best managed by experienced lathe users. That is particularly true of the manually manipulate four-jaw chuck. Additionally, numerous accidents occur when chucks become stuck. Anyone using a wood lathe chuck should make safety a top priority and should know the proper procedure for handling a stuck chuck.

do you intend to post this to every metalworking group on Yahoo? If so, why
bother? I've seen it, I think, 8 or 9 times now. I read it once, and for anyone
who has a wood lathe, and no chuck, it's probably a useful thing to know, but
most folks with metalworking lathes have at least one chuck, already, and
frequently more than that. I've got very little tooling for my lathe, but I do
own the stock 3" 3-jaw, and a 5" 4-jaw independent jaw chuck. And plan on a
collet chuck, too, one of these days.

If you're just trying to get some of the less active groups started talking
again, I guess that makes sense, so for it!

I went and had a look, it's just something he's copied from somewhere else.
His 'blog' has an entire 6 posts, (all added in about 10 minutes), the other
one in the wood category is about wood ticks!  I suppose you could put one
in a 4-jaw chuck, that'd kill it I guess.

I use FireFox with AdBlock & NoScript, so I can't tell you what ads or
malware was there.

Wood lathe 4-jaw chucks are interesting, but not that much use on a metal
lathe.  They're usually scroll (self-centering) but their main attraction is
the jaw attachments, lots of odd shapes for holding bowls etc.

One day the scammers will find real jobs.  (I can dream...)

Devil's Rope: Barbed wire snags Route 66 travelers

Devil's Rope Museum

It's like a huge ball of twine, only much more pointy.

(Credit: Amanda Kooser/CNET)

MCLEAN, Texas--Most people don't think twice about barbed wire, unless they happen to be cattle ranchers, farmers, or junkyard owners. You don't have to be any of those to step into the Devil's Rope Museum on Route 66 here in McLean, Texas, and immerse yourself in the history and lore of the pointy fencing material.

I'll admit that at first, I thought the idea of a museum dedicated to barbed wire was pretty weird and possibly a little dull. How many types of barbed wire can there really be? As it turns out, thousands. Some of them have some real personality to them, too. One looks like a series of miniature spurs. Another comes in a cheerful shade of red. Some look like wicked ribbons. Festive, but dangerous.

One surprise is the level of ingenuity surrounding the cult of barbed wire. Do-it-yourselfers have adapted the material into sculptures, crows have woven it into nests, and inventors have dedicated countless hours to one-upping each other on barbed wire design and technology. Barbed wire should make it onto every serious maker's materials list.

The idea for barbed wire first popped up in the mid-1800s. An endless stream of innovations and adaptions have radiated out ever since. It's not all strings of wire at the Devil's Rope. You can ogle post hole diggers, cattle brands, decorative fence toppers, salesman samples, barbed wire art, and fence-making machines that could double as medieval torture devices.

I was seriously considering starting up my own barbed wire collection by the time I made it into the gift shop. Like many offbeat and obsessive hobbies, it can add up. Certain pieces of rare barbed wire fetch hundreds of dollars among collectors.

One thing is certain: I will never look at barbed wire the same way again. Drop me a line if you happen to have a spare 18-inch strand of "Spur Rowel" wire laying around. I need a centerpiece for my collection.

Wasps.  With a Stink bug infestation like those pictured, 3 or 4 of the soda bottle traps should work wonders.  What would get wasps interested?  where I am, at least at the moment I find maybe one or two stick bugs a week.  Not enuf to bother with a trap.  Wasps, though, are dumb & heavily armed.

Cider vinegar is also a good bait for yellow jackets. Neighbor hangs 1/2 gallon
milk cartons with a cup of vinegar in it in his apple trees. Wasps enter and
can't get out. Usually drown.
